How did the U.S. do so well in Japan with setting up a new government and yet so bad in Iraq? Does the U.S. need to drop some MOABs on a few highly populated cities to crush the will of the terrorist?

good news! the gunmen are a buncha weirdosquote:After seizing dozens of students, police and military officials say the gunmen later withdrew. They say the students boarded buses to leave and gunfire erupted between the gunmen and security forces. so they show up and take a buncha people hostage then just leave. anyway this can be the official thread to post about iraq's slow descent into anarchy and ethnic cleansing

Ramadi was one of the most hard fought for cities in Iraq. Anything in the Al Anbar provence (fallujah included) is totally hosed. If you read about first hand accounts of door to door clearing, there are literal torture houses set up all around filled with dismembered body parts and torture equipment. The radicalized muslims in the region are extremely effective in subduing the people through drugs and torture. Sucks to hear about them hitting a university now Not likely to end up well.

They just repurposed the old leadership to help fight the reds.

If most people are educated and rational, you can persuade them and they will see the benefits of regime change as well as they will see to rebuilding their country themselves, but if most people are entitled uneducated tribal slobs with AK-47 it's better to just kill everyone and move on.

also the first thing we did in iraq after overthrowing the government was to totally dismantle and privatize any civil services rather than try to use them to restore the country to any kind of functioning order because the people in charge of rebuilding were free market ideologues
